The double hyphen space delimiter is more than a " so called "
standard, it is part of RFC 2646 ( Section 4.3 ).
<http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2646.txt>
There is a lot of software and many scripts that look for and make
assumptions based on that delimiter.
Changing that delimiter is not a good idea, even if some users
haven't been educated on its purpose and don't like it for some reason.
If a user wants to change their own copy of RoundCube code to shoot
themselves in the foot, that's OK, it doesn't hurt my foot. Making it
a configurable option for all users so they can shoot erroneously
( without knowing that they can hurt themselves ) isn't a very good
idea, IMHO.
As for top posting, please don't make it the default if it is
configurable.
